In UP, there is reservation as far as distribution of electricity is concerned. Areas of Netaji are getting power, while other places did not have power....," he said.<br /><br />On the law and order front, Modi alleged that "due to hooliganism of SP leaders, 45 crimes took place right under your (Mulayam's) nose.<br /><br />"There were over 20,000 cases of atrocities against women in UP alone....In Kanpur, medical students were manhandled by aides of an MLA and later lathicharged by the police and faced brutality by them due to which doctors in the entire state are agitating....<br /><br />"The politics of hooliganism will not be tolerated anymore....These misdeeds say everything and I do not need to elaborate," Modi said.<br /><br />He said that there were two camps in Samajwadi Party - one 'Samaj Virdohi Party' and another 'Sukhwadi Party, which is engaged in fun.
